Ribbon Scarf: Free Scarf Knitting Pattern

Введение

Ribbon Scarf

Our simple Ribbon Scarf knitting pattern in Quartz is both fresh and classic, precisely the extra flourish you want for fall!

You’ll start with a provisional cast on, then just knit-knit-knit in the round to make the long tube. Decreases at the end shape the first triangular tip.

Put the cast-on stitches back on your needles and work the other tip with the same decreases you used for the first one, and voilá!

With its wonderful softness and stunning depth of color, our Quartz is the perfect yarn for this understated knit.

Made with 65% merino wool and 35% suri alpaca, Quartz has the best of both fibers, warmth and strength, texture and luster… Beauty in spades.

And now there are nine new colors of Quartz to choose from, including the delicate Peony Pink below.

Can’t decide on your favorite? With its generous yardage, you only need one skein for a Ribbon Scarf, so pick up several and knit this beauty for all your favorite people!

PROVISIONAL CAST ON

S2KP (SLIP 2, KNIT 1, PSSO)

Slip 2 stitches together knitwise with yarn in back, knit 1, pass slipped stitches over knit stitch and off right needle. [2 stitches decreased]

PATTERN

TUBE

With crochet hook and scrap yarn, use a Provisional Cast On (see Notes) to cast 42 stitches evenly onto 3 double pointed needles.

NOTE: Prefer to use Magic Loop? Distribute the stitches equally between 2 needles instead! For more help with Magic Loop, visit our tutorial here.

Joining main yarn…

Set-Up Row: Leaving a 20-yard tail, knit to end of cast-on stitches.

Place a unique marker and join for working in the round, being careful not to twist the stitches.

Knit every round until piece measures approximately 62½ inches from cast-on edge and at least 20 yards remain.
